That sums it up. What movie/tv quotes do you hope to never hear in your games because there is too much baggage attached to them to keep in game?

ouch...
Anything from Pulp Fiction (or any QT movie). They have the best "quotes" but if they were to be utilised in a Shadowrun, I would have to prod the perpetrators with a pointy stick.
"Did you just order a five nuyen sloppy-soy?"
- also, if any character is EVER submitted with a note that says "my credstick has 'Bad-Muther-Fragger' etched on it" then the player will get a firm kicking.
Gimps, however, are allowed.

Hell, I'd rather a movie-based character reference than yet another bioware and cyberware-stuffed elf speed assassin with a creation of 19+5d6 at character generation, making me spend three hours trying to figure out how they did it and how to explain to them that they can't do it when I find where they cheated...
And yes, I've had a LOT of those characters...
The Abstruse One
I am currently in a game were I'm trying to not have a bunch of guys running around with shotguns(which aren't to bad) to Ares Stoner Machine guns.
I am wondering as a PC what should I do so that I can still stay in the action and role-play when that doesn't seem to be happening (I carry to very easily concealed light pistols.)
And no I don't want to be a nuissance, but I want to have fun to, and I'm sick of seeing explosions all over the place and running into prime runners.

If you're allowing cultured bioware at character gen, you don't have to cheat to get that... It's not even that hard

It just costs you 930,000

I had a character who pulled the "Holy Hand Grenade" gag... against a corp hitsquad rather than a bunny. I ruled that they were confused by his blabbering for long enough for his buddies to encircle and hit them from behind!
He had actually taken Monty Python as a Knowledge Skill - no metagaming here!

one i personally never want to hear again was right after CC came out and right before my dwarf rigger died.. the orc sammy asked to pass the rules on using a metahuman body as a club. *shudders* though, techinically, Rust died from the shotgun blast to the back of the head when the orc used him as a shield the next round, IIRC.
my next character i made (never played thankfully) was a dwarf adept modeled aftre the "cannonballs" in Labrynth

The quote has been reused and reworked so many times it sick. I can't even recall the original, though I thought it was "bubblegum" from the half-indian action "hero" from the 70s. I forget the name of the movie.
I think it was Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

"I did what?" -typically said by players after ignoring my warning of "sacrificing stats will get you brutalized." I got fed up of guys sacking Will for other things... Will 1 and 2 sammies do lots of things they don't want to

(Note: I don't mind this if there is a character background with it)
